Method of overwriting a saved preset?

[mxmilkiib]

I'm not sure if it's currently possible to overwrite a saved preset. If I select the directory in the list of a saved preset (or enter the directory name in the Name field) then click Save, it enters the directory.

Yeah, the Gtk file dialog (and most file dialogs except on Mac) are really bad at directory selection in general.

I'm not sure how to go about this. Sometimes I wonder if it shouldn't be file selector based at all, but simply ask for a name and save presets always to the local LV2 path which is where they need to be to really work anyway...

I've think I will just throw the file selector away, and replace it with a simple category/preset UI, which happens to mesh well with a more modern Gtk UI with a header bar.

I doubt anyone will miss the ability to save state to a specific location, that seems like a "developerey" enough task that it doesn't need to be exposed in the GUI. Maybe as part of a more advanced command-line interface or something. In the meantime, worst case scenario, the bundle can just be moved easily enough.
